US President Donald Trump says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may visit the United States next week.
“I think he’s going to be coming to the country some time in the not-so-distant future. Maybe next week,” Trump tells reporters aboard Air Force One, confirming that he spoke to the Israeli premier earlier today.
Netanyahu just visited the US in early February, becoming the first foreign leader to meet with Trump. His office had not mentioned an imminent visit to the US.
Netanyahu’s office said earlier today that he spoke with Trump alongside Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban to discuss Budapest’s withdrawal from the International Criminal Court.
Netanyahu is not slated to return to Israel from Hungary until Sunday morning. The weeklong Passover holiday begins next weekend.
The Axios news site cites an Israeli official who says Trump invited Netanyahu to the White House but that no date has been set for such a meeting.
